Jamaican Vacation

Since the economic squeeze shows no sign of letting go, families have had to ‘downsize’ their vacation plans.  I have always been a believer of the idea that if we enjoy Jamaica then we will be more willing to protect it.

 Of course, the cost to stay at some resorts makes them unreachable for the average Jamaican.  However, some hotels offer special rates for locals during the holiday season.  These preferred rates allow us to enjoy the same benefits as our foreign friends.

 There are so many activities to explore, such as water-surfing and scuba-diving just to name a few.  For the less adventurous there are ‘tamer’ activities to experience.

 So why not try vacationing at home this year? Just think, no passport or visa required and less travel time!
